Such empty, I mean the review section, I figured I might as well do the first step, there isn't much to really talk about here, but let's fill the void okay? - Story (6/10): The story, if there is any, to begin with, was just all over the place, this isn't story center per se, the whole series is just a compilation of comedic shorts filling up the holes between the original series's episodes, trying to make more sense of the plot's point, in a humorous way of course. - Art (8/10): As big of a pixel art fan as I am, I found this aesthetically pleasing to wonderat, like seriously, it felt like a gameplay from some retro pixel art game, and I absolutely loved it, surprisingly enough, It really built very well with the nature of the show.nn- Sound (7/10):nOther than the on-point voice acting, nothing there is to catch your attention, there is that faint retro 8-bit soundtrack on the background, which makes it feel more like a retro 80' game.nn- Character (7/10):nI'm glad I had to see almost all of the main characters show on the original series as cute pixel sprites, all of them, the serious and the vicious look very cute and appealing to have key decorations (is that weird to say?).nn- Enjoyment (6/10):nI would be honest on this one, I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, I did have a couple of giggles here and there, but that was too minimalistic for my liking.nn- Overall (6.8/10):nI don't see myself recommending this a lot unless somebody was nagging for more Mob Psycho 100 content, I would be happy to throw this show on them.

While the pixel animation is a nice touch, this mini series doesn't add much to someone looking for more of what they found in the original series. It was refreshing to see something a little different, but the novelty factor quickly ran out as the mini series progressed. Each episode has a few short stories. Despite this, the pacing seemed incredibly slow and much of the comedy didn't really land that well. This being said, it was pleasant to see more of each of the characters, and some time is dedicated to most of the characters seen in series one. If you're looking for a quickwatch and you were a fan of Mob Psycho, you might as well give this a watch, but don't expect anything particularly special.

Nothing good to watch this mini. Since i came here while i got some motion from my friend, i wish i had more fun with Mob and his crews. But i got it all wrong. It seem very empty comparing how good its parent story was. In my 10 scales, i put all of my initial effort into 4 on this, not get better at any rate. What is the strength from this little show? Nothing. And i keep telling myself that just some time wasted to watch this. However, as my respect to One Sensei, i still keep watching this until its end, and givemy point at 5, got 1 plus for that reasonal. Thats all.
